Several treaties have been signed at Versailles, France. The Treaty signed in 1871, signed at the end of the Franco-Prussian War by Bismarck for Germany. It forced France to give up most of Alsace and Lorraine, pay a large amount of money, and accept a German army of occupation. The Versailles Treaty of 1919 is the most famous of the treaties because it ended World War I. The Big Four negotiating it were President. Wilson (U.S.), Premier Clemenceau (France), Prime Minister. Lloyd George (Britain), and Premier Orlando (Italy). The creation of the League of Nations came out of this, a fore runner of the United Nations. It forced on Germany the burden of reparations and placed limits on German armed forces. It restored Alsace and Lorraine to France. It put Germany's colonies under the League of Nations, placed the Saar under French administration, called for a general vote in various territories newly freed from the Central Powers, and called for the demilitarization of the Rhineland. American opposition to the League of Nations resulted in the refusal of the U.S. Senate to ratify the treaty. In 1935, Hitler totally disregarded most of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The result was total global war, and crimes against humanity.
